I can't believe this. They're all so happy. It's like they don't even know that they're trapped here.

Greg

Well, of course they don't. They've never been anywhere else They love it here. I mean, look at this place. Can you blame them? They've got everything they need, and they never have to worry about a thing.

Steven

I guess you're right.

The light acting as the Sun is blocked off while the earrings chime.

Little voice

And now it's time to say good night. Good night, everyone. Sweet dreams.

Greg

Geez, I sure am tired from doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, good night, schtu-ball.

Steven

Dad. Now's our chance to get out.

Steven and Greg sneak around the containment area to find the door.

Greg

Man, little voice has really got me on that zooman sleep schedule.

Steven bumps into a wall which turns out to be the door they were looking for.

Steven

Is that... It's the door.

Greg

Great. How do we get it open?

Steven bangs on the door, then Wy-Six and Jay-Ten show up.

Wy-Six

Ga-reg!

Greg

Oh.

Jay-Ten

Ste-van!

Steven

Huh?

Wy-Six

So you're the ones making the noise.

Jay-Ten

What are you doing? Is it a game?

Wy-Six

Can we play, too?

Steven

It's not a game. We need to get this door open.

Jay-Ten

What is a door?

Steven

Like, this part of the wall but open.

Wy-Six

[Laughs] Walls don't open. They're walls.

Jay-Ten

There is a story of an opening wall. A very long time ago, a Gem came through a wall hole to help someone who was hurt.

Wy-Six

What do you mean hurt?

Jay-Ten

I don't know. I don't know what hurt is.

Steven

I know what hurt is!

Together

You do?

Steven

Um, it's like when you feel bad.

Wy-Six

Bad?

Steven

Yes, like, the opposite of good. [Sighs] If that's the only way out, then, Dad, slug me in the face.

Greg

What?! I'm not gonna hit you!

Steven

It's our ticket out of here. One of us has to get hurt.

Greg

Okay, well, then you hit me.

Steven

You sure?

Greg

Yeah. I'll take one for the team.

Steven proceeds to punch but makes a dud.

Greg

Come on, give me all you got. I can take it.

Steven proceeds to punch Greg and send him flying into a tree.

Wy-Six

Cannonball!

Steven

Uh, how was that?

Greg

Good. Anyone coming?

Steven

Doesn't look like it. Should I try it again?

Greg

There won't be anything left to rescue if you do.

Steven

What do we do now?

[ Earrings chime ]

Greg

Whatever she says.

Little voice

It is time for the choosening. Please gather around the circle of choosening.

Jay-Ten

Ste-van, Ga-reg, the choosening will start soon.

Wy-Six

Come with us. It's-it's finally time!

Transition to the circle of choosening.

All

[Laughter]

Jay-Ten

Ga-reg, step into the circle with us.

Greg

Is it somebody's birthday?

Steven

Ste-van, wait here until the choosening is complete.

Jay-Ten

The choosening is a very special event to us.

Wy-Six

We're glad to have you with us at such a wonderful time.

Greg

Glad to be here.

Little voice

Let the choosening begin. U-12, please step into the center of the circle. F-3, please step into the center of the circle. You have been choosened for each other.

Greg

Wait a second. Is this some kind of matchmaking thing?! [Groans] There's always a catch to these utopias.

Jay-Ten

Ga-reg, whoever is choosen for you will be very lucky.

Little voice

Jay-Ten, please step into the center of the circle.

Greg

Oh boy. Steven, help me.

Steven

Don't worry, Dad. You're new here, so maybe you won't get choosened.

Greg

Right.

Little voice

Ga-reg, please step into the center of the circle.

Greg

Hold on, maybe there's been a mistake.

Wy-Six

Ga-reg, Jay-Ten is waiting for you.

All

[Cheering]

Wy-Six

I see what's going on here.

Greg

You do?

Wy-Six

You are just shy!

Greg

Huh?

Wy-Six

Do not worry about it. [Laughs] Now touch hands.

Greg

Hold on! This isn't how it works on Earth! I don't want to be told who to be choosened with.

Wy-Six

Ga-reg, this makes no sense. Why wouldn't you want to be choosened?

Greg

Look, Back on Earth, there was no voice to tell you who to be with. It was your own decision.

Steven

My mom and dad didn't get together because someone told them to. They spent time getting to know one another and fell in love. They choosened each other 'cause that's what they choosed.

Wy-Six

Hmm, I see. If that's how it's done on Earth, then... I choose Ga-reg.

Jay-Ten

And I also choose Ga-reg.

All

[Indistinct "I choose Ga-reg" talk]

Greg

Wait! I get a say in this, too. You're all very nice, and I'm flattered, and yes, you get to choose whoever you want, but I also get to say I choose, um... none of you.

All

[Sobbing]

Greg

Woah! Hey, don't cry. You can choose someone else.

Jay-Ten

I feel not good. I feel bad.

Wy-Six

Could this be -- Is this hurt?

Jay-Ten

Why would Ga-reg hurt us? Take this hurt away.

Steven

I choosen [Grunts] to take my dad and run away.

Steven and Greg are being chased by the human inhabitants through the forest.

Greg

Watch out for that -- oof!

Tree branch.

Greg

[Groans]

Steven and Greg manage to hide.

Greg

I haven't broken this many hearts since I had all my hair.

The door opens, and a bunch of Amethyst guards rush in to avert the crisis.
